Rockies stand pat on deadline

While their National League West rivals were active, the Rockies chose to stand pat at today’s deadline. That became a likely scenario Friday afternoon when Colorado pulled Brad Hawpe back and found no takers for Aaron Cook. The Rockies could still look to move Cook in August as the $14.25 million remaining on his contract will allow him to pass through waivers.

The Rockies could still do some minor tweaking this month. Cook must pitch well to keep his rotation spot, especially given the promising season of Jhoulys Chacin. Colorado is likely to promote left-handed reliever Matt Reynolds at some point, whether that’s in August or September.

Their rivals were active: This isn’t the final list, but where it stands now:
Padres get Miguel Tejada and Ryan Ludwick
Giants get relievers Javier Lopez and Ramon Ramirez (and are pursuing Jose Bautista)
Dodgers get starter Ted Lilly, infielder Ryan Theriot and reliever Octavio Dotel
D-backs get rid of catcher Chris Snyder (Pirates), Edwin Jackson (White Sox), Chad Qualls (Rays).
This isn’t an official list, but where it stood 15 minutes after 2 p.m. deadline
